And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Phan Li.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Li, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Shirou Masuda scores the fight 30:27
Judge Tatsuya Matsuyama scores the fight 30:28
Judge Sosuke Kotani scores the fight 30:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Phan Li!
